Raimonds Vējonis acknowledged that Latvia was considered a great country of winter sports because we had both talented and strong athletes and skilled technical specialists who helped the athletes in preparing for the start.
The President of Latvia handed over the Centenary flag of Latvia to the Latvian Olympic team, which had travelled to the Latvians around the world during the previous year. “This flag has accumulated a huge amount of positive energy, which is very necessary for you,” said Raimonds Vējonis. He wished that the flag of Latvia would fly high in PyeongChang and that the anthem of Latvia would be performed as often as possible.
